Famous quotes containing the word plays:

    “In all the wide gamut of human experience, nothing plays so important a part as faith.... Faith that is as broad as the heavens and as wide as the earth. Faith that comprehends in its vast sympathies everything human as well as divine, and carries one with the swift sure wings of the angels directly to his goal.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
